A sensor unit (120-i) in the VIP provides a panel condition signal (PCS, 125-i) that corresponds to a measurement value of a physical property of the VIP. The physical prop - erty influences the temperature of the object (0 OBJECT). A short-distance transmitter unit (130-i) transmits a first coding (135-i) of the PCS inside the Container (100), a long-distance transmitter unit (140) transmits a second coding (145) of the PCS to a remote server (200) for processing the PSC. The server (200) determines a representation of an Operation State of the transport container, wherein the operation state is related to the temperature of the object (0 OBJECT). The material of the VIP is classified and differen - tiated so that transmitting parameters depend on the material.
